that's been a criticism of president obama. he has made up for all the jobs that have been lost on his watch, but as often happens, the recovery has created jobs that are not as lucrative as the ones before. the president's plan now that he's unveiled focuses on manufacturing jobs. he says he wants to add a million new manufacturing jobs over the next few years. now, the u.s. has added nearly half a million manufacturing jobs in the last 32 months, but over the last few months, we've started losing them again. it's lost 38,000 manufacturing jobs. give me the thinking behind this, bob. this is where i'm talking to people and they say i need the distinction between goals and ambitions and dreams, versus how this happens. why does the president believe he can actually create a million manufacturing jobs and what's the follow on effect of doing so? >> here's the economic argument, ali. a lot of manufacturing companies that sent jobs abroad over the last 10 or 15 years, they are bringing them back because transportation costs actual

you heard romney in the last debate rip obama on the economy. and when you looked at those snap polls on cbs and cnn, romney was winning that debate on the economy by 20 or 30 percentage points. i think you'll see the same thing tonight. i think he's going to try to turn as much as he can foreign policy into economic policy. there are a lot of reasons for that that we can talk about later. >> it's been said, his campaign is designed to fight on the economy. and a lot of people point out, whether you like him or not, his weakest moments, arguably, from the summer involve foreign policy. >> i agree. it lacks perfection. i think you have a good point there, carl. but i think they smell blood on the economy. and i think they smell blood on the issue of a little compromise, what i call finding ground. independence in the polls are moving in romney's direction big time. but i also think he will take some shots on benghazi. >> will he be able to close it on foreign policy? there were a few missed opportunities when the benghazi situation came up even a

obama said no sequester. and i just thought to myself -- >> let's talk the numbers. >> when will we ever cut spending? >> the sequester is 1.2 over ten years. if you cut $60 billion, you give yourself six months. okay. you get through the debt ceiling debate. >> the numbers aren't that big. >> so you can easily cut $60 billion. you can cut $60 billion out of afghanistan. and you can get through -- >> no, you cannot. it's a double count. >> i don't think so. >> they've already taken the money out of afghanistan. >> i don't think he means -- i don't think the president means that he doesn't want to cut spending. in fact, in his budget, the way he says we'll deal with the sequester is by offsetting it with more revenues, which i don't like. but that is part of his plan. but also considerable spending cuts. and in fact, and this is underappreciated. thus far, this president and this congress have cut $1.5 trillion in spending over ten years. $1.7 trillion in interest added savings. that's on the books. >> overall
